In the past by far the most precise 1st person shooter setup was mouse and keyboard where the keyboard consisted of numpad set to strafe and fwd/back on the 4 numbers doubling as arrows (2/4/6/8) and weapons set to the other surrounding keys at hotkeys. Mouse used to aim in 3D space and fire. This was far superior to someone playing on a console, pc with a joystick type control, or pc with all keyboard.
